Fails to install on Python 3.6

See original GitHub issue

Collecting readchar==0.7 (from inquirer->almar==0.7.2)
  Using cached readchar-0.7.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/tmp/pip-build-33aeocmc/readchar/setup.py", line 15, in <module>

      File "/tmp/pip-build-33aeocmc/readchar/setup.py", line 9, in read_description
        return fd.read()
      File "/opt/rh/rh-python36/root/usr/lib64/python3.6/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode
        return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
    UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 2461: ordinal not in range(128)

Per https://github.com/magmax/python-readchar/issues/26 , this seems to have been fixed in 0.1.0 (or before?).

Note: The version that follows 0.7 is 0.0.8, then 0.0.9 and 0.1.0. Ref: https://pypi.org/project/readchar/#history

Version 0.0.8 fails with Python 3.3
Version 0.0.9 fails with Python 3.3
Version 0.1.0 fails with Python 2.7
